Be a true yogi and do not be satisfied with any spiritual attainment less than the Divine Body.

new_p.gif  ASTANG YOGA

The main purpose of practicing Astang yoga is to release the negativities trapped inside you for thousands of eons. This is done through a process of sequential internal purification of your body, mind, and soul. Once you have learnt to do that, you will be able to harness the positive life energy or prana within you, execise control and stay focused all the time. You will be in control of everything that comes your way. You'll experience harmony in life when you've learnt to take one day at a time and live in the here and now. You will not have false expectations for the future nor will you linger in the past. You truly will accept yourself and will learn to love all people in the world.  You'll treasure every moment of your life and learn to live one day at a time.

Ashang yoga is the classical eight-fold path of yogi codified by the Sage Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras. The eight limbs (or steps) of ashtanga yoga are:

  1. yam (vows),
  2. niyam (observances), 
  3. asana (postures) i.e. physical exercises designed to restore the natural balance of the body,
  4. pranayam (breathing exercises),
  5. pratyahar (withdrawal from the sense),
  6. dharana (concentration),
  7. dhyan (meditation), and
  8. samadhi (complete absorption in the Self).

Huayen Esotericism
webassets/11face.jpg

The development of esoteric Buddhism is the fruit of uniting the philosophy of the Avatamsaka Sutra with practical methods through such means as Mahayana modes of thinking and language, and committing such fruit into writing. Ven. Haiyun is the 42nd patriarch of the Xianshou and Ci’en school based on the philosophy of the Huayen. He preaches the neo-classic Huayen Buddhism, which stresses the importance of practice in this new age. You are very special if you can listen to his dharma and learn to put the Huayen philosophy into esoteric practice.
